“Wilco, Wilco, Wilco… Is that all you think about?”
Well, no. But I try to keep this site family friendly.
Today I’m going to beat more Wilco into your brain and hip you to one of my favorite radio shows/podcasts.
Sound Opinions, billed as “The Worlds Only Rock & Roll Talk Show” is produced by Chicago Public Radio (WBEZ) and American Public Media and is hosted by pop/rock critics, Jim DeRogatis (Chicago Sun-Times) and Greg Kot (Chicago Tribune.) They pick apart, not just the current releases in music, but also the news and the history in an entertaining and insightful manner. I check them out every week and I think you should too.
One of the other great things they do is host artists in their studio. Recent guests include: John Cale, Midlake (first time I’d heard them and I loved it), The Flaming Lips, Yoko Ono, The Decemberists, and Wilco. (You knew it was coming, right?)
Yep. Wilco was playing a show in their hometown of Chicago so Greg and Jim stopped by the venue for an interview and private performance. Check it out.
In case you’re too unmotivated to go to the Sound Opinons website witout some proper baiting, I’ll link you to one song from Wilco’s performance. For the rest you’ll have to go to the site (It’s worth it!)
